I did this on my boyfriend as a zombie look: ) I used a paper mache technique with toilet paper and Elmer's glue in three places on his face with small gaps between them, I covered that with like 3 or four layers of liquid latex. I pulled a cotton ball apart and put it over his eye to protect it from the liquid latex and make up. I put the toilet paper over that and used latex to cover that as well. I put folds and creases through out to give it a little bit of a textured look but crumpling the toilet paper before sticking it down. Then you need to powder the latex to keep it from sticking to your needle when you sew the gaps together. Very carefully sew it together and don't pull the thread to tight or it won't look like stitches as it pulls the pieces together. Then I put red red face paint under the thread and then fake blood and clear lip gloss over it. I used white face paint to lighten his skin a put and black shadow in the contour areas. Use your paints and shadows to shade according to your folds and textured areas. Put clear lip gloss any where you want it to look extra gory! Happy haunting and thanks for looking!
